During the Nevada debate, every candidate except Sanders refused to rule out a plot to block his nomination at the Democratic National Convention if the Vermont Senator failed to achieve a majority of delegates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"998\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2.png 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2-500x768.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"998\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2.png 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/Infographic2-500x768.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This strategy would involve the losing candidates\u2019 pooling their delegates together and allotting them to one candidate, thus boosting that candidate\u2019s combined delegate count past Sanders\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In effect, Sanders could fail to win the nomination even if he receives the most votes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders\u2019 critics within his own party cite his often-incendiary polemics against big businesses and the wealthy as a huge liability for his campaign; they argue that such divisiveness will alienate voters in crucial swing states in the general election against Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Sanders\u2019 campaign has recently demonstrated an ability to appeal to some of the DNC\u2019s crucial voting demographics. According to Newsweek, as of February he polls higher among black, Asian, Hispanic, and white voters than any other democrat in the race.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anecdotal evidence also indicates that some who had previously supported other candidates have been swayed by Bernie\u2019s recent success, as well as the media coverage thereof.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Megan Feringa, media reports about Sanders\u2019 supposed flaws ironically increased her opinion of the democratic socialist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI was initially supporting Pete Buttigieg because of his youth and I thought he brought something new to the table,\u201d said Feringa, an American journalism student at Cardiff, \u201cbut when the media kept harping on Bernie\u2019s age after his heart procedure I actually started thinking about how much more experience he had compared to mayor Pete.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe more I paid attention the more I noticed that many American media outlets portrayed Bernie as an old, out of touch man, but he\u2019s actually advocating for the things that my generation supports,\u201d said Feringa, who recently wrote a Media Watch Column investigating ageism in the American press\u2019s coverage of Sanders.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feringa\u2019s experience as an American in Wales has also affected her feelings on issues like health care. \u201cIt was honestly just really enlightening to just be able to go to the doctor and get medicine, no questions asked,\u201d Feringa said.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If experiences like Feringa\u2019s serve as eye-opening lessons, for Welsh supporters of Corbyn, it simply reinforces principles they\u2019ve always held.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOf course I\u2019m pro-Bernie,\u201d said Barney Lloyd Wood, a journalism student at Cardiff from Swansea. \u201cThings like national health care, which is apparently a radical position in the States, are just assumed to be human rights elsewhere. It frankly boggles my mind that Bernie\u2019s considered a radical leftist,\u201d said Wood. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"814\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-500x626.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-440x550.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-500x626.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/HandsomeWelshLeftist-440x550.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Barney loves Bernie, but can&#8217;t vote for him.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As encouraging as Feringa and Wood\u2019s accounts are to anybody hoping for a Sanders victory, it remains to be seen if such enthusiasm is an indicator of voter turnout for him in the general election. Wood, as a Welsh citizen of the United Kingdom, obviously cannot vote in the American election and Feringa said that most of her family and friends are Republicans. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, Bernie\u2019s recent victories have put the Democratic establishment in a difficult position. If they decide that nominating Bernie would increase the likelihood of a Trump victory in November, a brokered convention against him is not off the table. However, a split within the Democratic party would also likely bolster Trump in the general election and reenact Labour\u2019s recent unraveling.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With only three states of fifty reporting primary or caucus results, such speculation arguably seems premature. However, it also proves that Bernie Sanders now officially constitutes the main strategic issue for the party. Both how they deal with him and how swing voters respond to his campaigns will likely decide the direction of the Democratic Party for the forseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The socialist hopeful currently ranks first among Democratic Candidates, but he faces hostility from within and outside his party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":383,"featured_media":51613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"coauthors":[615],"class_list":["post-51491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics-social-justice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
